Chapter 345 +25 BONUS After all , Noelle already knew .
In a way , it was better this way .
Everyone else only saw Hendrixs gentle , polished facade , but Noelle was the only one who knew this side of him .
And that was how it should be .
After all , she was his wife the only person in the world who had the right to grow old with him .
Letting her see this true self was only fitting .
It was just that Hendrix hadnt anticipated it happening in this way , under these circumstances .
After a night that teetered on the edge of madness , Hendrix woke up .
He had only slept for two hours , but his energy was surprisingly intact .
Noelle was still sound asleep beside him .
Her eyelids were slightly swollen , and her body below the neck was covered in mottled marks , with even a bite mark on her shoulder that he had left .
As for when hed bitten her , Hendrix couldnt remember , nor did he care .
While getting dressed , he called the hotel front desk to have ointment delivered to the room , then personally applied it to Noelles skin .
The process was anything but smooth .
Noelle woke up mid way and , realizing he was near her , startled and instinctively tried to kick him .
It wasnt until later that she realized he was only applying the ointment for her .
Although she voiced her reluctance , she eventually let him continue .
After applying the ointment , Hendrix placed the breakfast delivered by the hotel on the bedside table , then stood .
and left the room .
But not before locking the door behind him .
Even though he had already taken her passport , he knew Noelles temperament well enough to realize she might still find a way to escape .
Especially after what happened last night , he came to a realization using those previous conditions to threaten her was no longer enough .
He needed a new bargaining chip .
Fortunately , obtaining one wasnt difficult .
In fact , it might already be on its way .
Until then , he needed patfence .
For now , Noelles freedom would have to be temporarily restricted , even if it meant making her endure a bit of discomfort .
Soon , the car pulled up in front of the villa .
A sign reading No Visitors Allowed still hung at the entrance , and as Hendrix got out of the car , he could see uniformed security guards patrolling the area .
But he had been here many times before , and the guards had long since learned to ignore his presence .
The parking lot still held many cars , their flashy designs and vibrant colors reflecting the wild , indulgent personality of their owners .

Hendrix had left in a hurry last night , missing the later parts of the evenings events .
But it was precisely because he knew what was to come that he had chosen to leave early As he stepped into the villa , a strong , unmistakable scent reminiscent of photinia flowers wafted through the air .
The living room was an absolute mess .
Despite the late hour , many of those sprawled across the furniture were still fast asleep .
The sight of arms and legs tangled together made Hendrix feel nauseated .
Chapter 345 +25 BONUS Thankfully , Erwin was already awake .
He was out in the garden , a cigar between his fingers , lost in the quiet reflection of his so called sage time .
Hendrix had known he would be there .
Hearing the approaching footsteps , Erwin didnt bother turning around and instead said , Its a shame you left early last night .
That idiot Alan Conley put on quite the show , dragging two women onstage for an impromptu performance .
Hendrix stopped beside him and replied calmly , Whats so fun about that ? His indifference caught Erwin off guard , and he raised an eyebrow in mild surprise .
After a moments thought , he nodded Youre right nothing special about it .
But soon , Erwins gaze landed on the faint scratches on Hendrixs neck .
Did your wife do that ?
